School Houses 

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii n nil I 

AND Libraries 



iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 



FEW words are necessary to introduce this 
book, touching as it does upon a subject 
of the widest interest. The object in pre- 
senting it is, to place before those contemplat- 
ing building, a series of designs for the 
modern school, with floor plans, hoping 
thereby to interest them in our work in this 
line. 

The plans shown herein aim to meet the re- 
quirements of villages and smaller cities 
where school houses are desired, not ex- 
pensive or ornate, but combining the best 
exterior effect in design with practical, con- 
venient interior plans and sound construction. 

If you are interested in building a new school 
or library, or anything in the building line, 
write us for information and sketches. 

Our charges for complete working plans and 
specifications will be furnished on applica- 
tion. We hope the merits of our work will 
give us an opportunity of hearing from those 
desiring work in our line.

This school building is excellently arranged for convenience and access of 
the six rooms, and each room is especially well lighted and ventilated. The 
exterior is treated with a combination of pressed brick and cut-stone, and would 
make a very attractive building for any suburban locality, especially if set well 
back from the street and surrounded with ample grounds. In design and interior 
arrangement we have a most satisfactory and well equii^ped school.

It is not an uncommon prac-tice to specify Medart Products as a standard for quality. 
Such specifications provide for the best possible service, as well as the most efficient 
equipment. 

Our Engineering Department is at the service of institutions planning buildings with 
locker rooms, gymnasium or swimming pools. This Engineering Service is backed by an ex- 
perience of 43 years in this work. Its use is encouraged jsrimarily with the view of develop- 
ing gymnasium and locker equipments to the highest standard of efficiency. 

We have incorporated in our general catalog a section of 16 pages, 10x12 inches on 
gymnasium planning. This part of our 128 page book was prepared by our Engineering 
Department. It answers the hundred little problems of gymnasium technicalities as they 
would be answered by the consensus of Physical Directors' opinions. It is a handy refer- 
ence book and covers precisely the data wanted by those persons planning the gymnasium 
feature of their building. 

This 128 page book will be mailed free on request. Write for it.

In the modern school building, marble is used as much for utili- 
tarian purposes as for a decorative material. 

Formerly marble was i^enerally considered as a refinement used 
in buildings to please the eye. 

Its use has proven it to be equally desiralde, whether from a 
standpoint of utility or beauty. 

There are many utility marbles, beautiful in color and moderate 
in ])rice, suitable for stall enclosures and wainscot in toilet rooms 
and shower rooms, for floors and wainscot in corridors and entrances, 
for stairways and in fact for any part of a building requiring a non- 
absorbent and durable material. 

As compared to substitutes having sufficient merit to be worthy 
of consideration, the cost of marble is not unfavorable, the upkeep is 
less, the sanitary non-absorbent cjualities superior, and the beauty of 
the marble beyond comparison. Ask for estimates.

Pressweld Radiation 

for better heating and 
ventilation of Schools 

The healing of schools today must take account of more than the 
actual temperature attained. It is essential that proper ventilation be 
secured. It is necessary to conserve space, save fuel, obtain utmost 
durability, get maximum radiation in minim_um time, save weight of 
equipment and provide against cracking and leakage in time of frost. 
It is peculiar to PRESSWELD to possess ALL the advantages indi- 
cated above in greater measure than any other radiation on the 
market. Persons interested in School Heating will find "PRESS- 
WELD" the solution of this as of all other heating problems. 

Modern Heating contains some 
interesting data on effective School 
Heating. Write Department "J"

their Easy Working Gravity Action, Construction, Simplicity, Durability and

Caxton Reinforced Blackboard is not merely a sub- 
stitute for slate — it is a displacer of slate because 

1. The surface is superior to slate. 

2. It will wear for years. 

3. The installed cost is Vz that of slate. 

The surface of Caxton Reinforced Blackboard, 
made of ground slate, carborundum and binding ma- 
terials, is not brushed on the blackboard. It is troweled 
on in four layers making the surface practically "wear 
proof.' ' 

Reinforcement is secured by strips of wood 1 % in. 
X % in. in size framed together (see cut). To this 
frame slabs of waterproof compressed wood pulp are 
cemented firmly. 

Caxton Reinforced Blackboard is furnished in black, 
green or brown. Fully guaranteed. Send for free 
sample and prices. 



CAXTOiX CUiCAGU Adjust- 
able Shade is the most perfect 
on the market. Shade and 
cord form a continuous belt 
through self-locking pulleys at 
top and bottom of window. 
This shade is always held taut 
no matter what its position. 
This eliminates that objection- 
able ''flapping" when the 
wind is blowing. Use of this 
inimitable shade permits per- 
fect school ventilation and 
lighting. Furnished in all 
standard shade fabrics. Write

THEY SLIDE TO SAFETY 

( )n the smooth, gently sloping spiral slide. Easily, 
(iriK-rly, quickly they go, without a single scratch. They 
reach the ground in a standing position without commo- 
tion, without disorder. They escape unharmed by the 
ravages of fire. 

This is the method of escape from fire when a liuild- 
ing is equipped with a Kirker-Bender Fire Escape. 

The Kirker-Bender — strong, durable, simple in con- 
struction — is a true fire escape in every sense of the 
words. It is. the safest, sanest escape ever built. Its ad- 
\antages over the dangerous, old-fashioned step escapes 
(from which thousands have fallen to death!) are too 
obvious to be mentioned. 

Every building that requires a fire escape in actual 
practice as well as in name, should be equipped with a 
Kirker-Bender.
